If it's Tia, I will watch but not enthusiastically. I like her better than Raven but I will find it hard to relate to her.

I feel the same about Becca taking the lead. I imagine TPTB will dredge up her broken romances over and over. If she takes the role, I hope she defies the broken heart story line, is adventuresome and willing to take the leap of faith with new guys, e.g, rappelling buildings, bunging jumping, etc, and puts the past behind her.

I am not thrilled about Tia being the lead and will tire of her quickly, however, she is willing to take on adventure, drag racing, frog gigging, etc, which provide for some unique entertainment.

I think whomever TPTB fancy will be marinated and grilled over and over. It's the nature of the beast.

My doctor asked me: "Does anyone in your family suffer from mental illness?" My answer:"No they all enjoy it immensely."

ITA - She must realize that IMO Arie didn't beg the producers to film the break up so all of North America and beyond can watch it? She must realize that her ex didn't pick up the phone and make arrangements to find her in Peru? What does she think of Lauren's FS compared to her tent date with no bathroom facilities? She was concerned about how deep Arie's love was for Lauren? How did she even know that he loved Lauren?

This is why I don't feel sorry for any of them, and I stick to sleuthing and a possible love story. If she sign's on the dotted line, she must be prepared to follow the storyboard, whatever that entails. TPTB are trying to be creative with two ILY's. We haven't seen an ett'e do that yet?
